Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

you must have other mods installed and the mod is finding conflicting edits already in the file. you will need to manually edit that file. Manual Installation of Mods (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=402.0)

Sometimes, it is difficult to figure out WHICH mod made the change to your file.
Did manual editing solve your problem.
